I was surprised to find D'Agostini has 5 regular season fights along with 4 preseason fights.2010:Boyle (L) -Boyle jumped him along the wallFraser (L) -Fraser handled him pretty well2011:Barker (W) -Barker jumps him along the wallSbisa (W) -Right after a faceoff2012:Torres (L) -D'Agostini crushes a PHO Player and Torres jumps him

I don't see how anyone could not think this is a great move. basically for that price if the guy scores 5 goals I will be happy. 110,000 per goal? works for me. :) also, he has put up a few points before so at this price there is pretty much nothing but upside.

Time will tell on this move and how good it is. Has good potential but.........

But what? He isn't costing us anything.

Do you hunt my posts just to disagree? Why not just foe me?

Like I said, It has good potential, but if he is a total bust (lie ET), that is a half mil we could maybe use on someone else.

I understand your point. D'Agostini wasn't what most of us were looking for as a 3rd line winger. I would have rather signed someone with some grit...It seems like Shero is going with 3 scoring lines and 1 checking/grinding line...

I like the move, let's see if he can find the scoring touch he had only a short time ago. The scoring touch he found was under Davis Payne, who is completely different coach than Hitchcock who took over for Payne. Hitchcock is defense first, we all know that....we also all know that Bylsma is NOT a defensive first coach, so maybe D'Agostini finds it again under DB? He also had his best season while playing top 6 minutes with the better players on the team. Maybe, just maybe he finds some crazy chemistry with Crosby or Malkin ala Andy Hilbert? I'm pretty sure 71 and 87 are much better players than anyone he played with in St. Louis.

I'll remain optimistic on the move until proven wrong. I won't hold my breath that he's the second coming of Marty St. Louis, but he might still be an effective player for league minimum. If not, I won't lose sleep over it either.

If we couldve used it elsewhere, where would we have used it? We only had like $600k left in cap space.

I have no idea where we could use it. I don't even know who is left. I don't know if Shero is done and this is the team. It may turn out to be a great move. The only downside is if he is a bust, which is possible.

BTW: I hope it turns out to be a great move and he scores 20+ goals and 50 points. We need some of these low paid guy to step up.
